Doctor Who - Discussion Thread II

Definitely.



Dr Who makes no sense anymore No thought is going into the continuity, the 'rules of Time' and stuff, it's just ruined it for me

Tbh it was good much better than the normal ones but I dunnoe something wasnt quite right and well it was emotional enough I mean when Rose I left I was crying like a baby but when rory and amy left just a tear or two

Maybe because we felt the 10th Doctor's sadness? Matt smith has nowhere near the emotional range in acting as David Tennant

Well I was being nice by not picking you up on the 'toying' point. Animals don't actually 'toy' with their prey in the sense that you are thinking. They do not prolong a hunt with fun in mind, they adopt a strategy which is most likely to give them the reward they seek. A cat may take its time hunting a mouse, this is to ensure the pounce is perfect and that it catches the mouse in time. It's not like Tom and Jerry where the cat is laughing in its head in excitement as it chases after the mouse, skidding in the dirt and 'toying' with it.

There is literally no good reason for the angels to lag behind and think 'no worries brahs the statue of Lib has this one under control. Let's just slowly walk up these stairs'.

Just think before you post. You already lost the point about the Dr letting Amy go so easily (he could have grabbed her and pulled her back whilst making sure to maintain eye contact with the angel, as an example)

Bah, I'm tired now, off to bed I go. Hate circular arguments, in this case you are recycling the same inane response to my perfectly valid points. It's grating.

True. And maybe also the epic "Vale Decem" background music

Finally this series has redeemed itself. A brilliant episode.

Though idk if a statue made of copper can qualify as a stone angel.

Nearly wet myself at "I always wanted to see the Statue of Liberty... I guess she got impatient."

Definitely agree with that. I think the weeping angels just add that bit of suspense that the others don't really do. It's always a treat treat when an episode involves them.

Yeah, they screwed up the angels after the first episode. This was sort of half way though, in that we didn't actually see them move. The statue of liberty moving was silly as well, maybe it'd manage one step, but once it makes that noise everyone's going to be looking around and then it's all "Wtf is the statue of liberty doing there?".

Rory's dad is going to be so pissed

There is a reason I left this godawful forum, too much stupidity and irrationality.

Glad you all got the reference. It's really crap that after he told them to bring them home safe they're now gone. I'm wondering how the Doctor would have gone about telling the family, if at all?

He wouldn't go and tell him. His dad would probably work it out however, not where or when, but he'd realise they had died with the Doctor.

Overall, I would say it was a brilliant episode even if it left me slightly bemused and not sure how to feel about myself.

I was completely perplexed by one bit though, to the point that I was shouting at my TV screen saying, "What are you doing, River?!". It was near the beginning where River had just taken Rory to mansion/house (in which she treated him with a bit of hostility to say the least) and anyway, she just handed him over the bodyguard/detectives. WHY?! At first, it made be think that this was an earlier version of River, at a time when she was more hateful and didn't realise Rory was her father as she just let him get sent to the cellar!! WHAT?!? This whole thing may have been solved if Rory didn't get zapped by the babies to the hotel (Weather Quay was it?) and Amy and the Doctor didn't have to go running after him!! I just.. don't understand. Can anyone clear this up for me??

I think River may have been kidnapped, and Rory had the misfortune of appearing near them. Although, like most things relating to River Song, this wasn't really explained well, so I may be wrong.
